ABOUT

In perfumery, dahlia is a crafted accord (the natural flower is nearly scentless) that reads as plush and velvety, with dewy-green facets, a gentle clove-like spice, faint pollen-honey sweetness, and a creamy, slightly powdery undertone evoking opulent late-summer gardens. Used as a heart note to add volume and modern elegance to floral bouquets and florientals, it is typically built from rose/peony/carnation and muguet nuances, ionones, benzyl salicylate, soft musks and light lactones, and it pairs well with berries, citrus, woods, and ambered notes.

Floral notes can be single-note or blended to create complex bouquets, often used in perfumes to evoke feelings of femininity, warmth, and elegance. These scents are prevalent in both classic and contemporary fragrances, making them a cornerstone of perfumery.
